The Gifts that Keeps on Giving ((You)) Nightmares


It's been a whole month without any new arrivals. Who knows why? If you ask CERES, they won't bother with any in-depth explanations. They will simply claim that none of the code out there has been responding to their recovery methods, so they had to rework a lot of their technology. However, after several weeks of grueling work, they have finally experienced success! A fresh new batch of faces is coming in, and to celebrate their arrival and the real upcoming holidays, CEO Julius Vincere has arranged for a Christmas-themed carnival for all to enjoy.

Those who arrive will wake up in Cerealia and be given a long, boring explanation and powerpoint as per usual before being ushered onto a bus (there is no escape. The robots will force you onto the bus one way or another). You will be unwillingly carted to the theme park where you will be immediately assaulted by a giant array of lights followed by several rides that you can enjoy. After you disembark from the bus, one of the snowman robots will be waiting to give you tickets to the rides and show you around as part of the Grand Opening. The amusement park will remain open for the rest of the month of December so anyone can visit as they please. The first couple tickets will also be on the house for new arrivals, but the rest will have to be bought with credits, so choose wisely! (Or try and sneak into the rides -- then face the wrath of the snowman robots and their snowman firearms :D)

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ xx:xx ] Do you like ferris wheels? This is an enchanting one where you get to ride around in a giant snowflake at a very limited speed. The wheel will turn excruciatingly slow before stopping abruptly, leaving you trapped at the very top. We hope you're not afraid of heights because you're going to be in there for a while! The windows on the snowflake will rapidly darken leaving you and your fellow riders trapped in the darkness. At that moment, you will feel something warm breathing down your neck and along the back of your ear. As you reach over, you'll feel like the chair underneath you is made of snakeskin, and a hissing sound will intensify as the "chair" squirms and as the breathing gets louder and hotter. Scrabble at the doors, fight your way out! Will you escape or not? Probably not, but the experience will last only a good five minutes before the lights come back on and before the ferris wheel starts moving again. The chair will appear as normal, and there will be no one else inside except any fellow riders who came with you.
PHASE II
[ xx:xx ] If the ferris wheel didn't "do it" for you, then perhaps a fun house will? If you're a fan, that is! This Christmas-themed funhouse features a wonderful walk through a snowy forest convered in singing reindeer. The more you walk through, the more you will notice things like within the distorted mirrors, there will briefly appear strange specters. You will also hear a bunch of howling in the background, and while you may think that you're safe since they're trapped behind a mirror, you are very wrong. The lights will go out once more, and you will hear the mirrors shatter all around and feel yourself being grabbed and hurled to the ground. Whatever is coming for you is something you can't see, but it's advancing fast with impressive strength to hurl you back once more. You will feel pain erupt through your body before an engineer will appear to get the lights back on. Once they're back on, the reindeer will be happily singing, and all the mirrors will appear as they were before -unbroken.
PHASE III
[ xx:xx ] After those interesting adventures, another option would be to simply visit the rocking santacoaster, a large, sprawling roller coaster that reaches 150 mph. You will be strapped into a sled and be shot through the tracks where you can scream and cry all you want except once you reach the tunnel, everything will come to a sudden stop (whiplash pending). You and the other riders will be in there for a few minutes, surrounded by a dozen santas as they start to fly out from the tunnel walls, carrying swords and swooping down to take a swipe at you. You better duck or be prepared to be cut up by their blades. The rollercoaster will abruptly resume, and when you reach the end, you might notice some bleeding, a little bit of hair missing, or some clothes shred up. If you ask the snowman robots about it, they will just shrug and claim they don't know what you're talking about. Please go enjoy a snowcone on the house!
PHASE IV
[ xx:xx ] The Christmas whirl will be your last stop for the evening! This is a ride that goes round and round and round while tilting. Everyone will be strapped into it while standing up and forced to hold on as it spins, and somewhere in the midst of the spinning, the ride will suddenly malfunction. Yes, big surprise there! But it won't stop spinning. It will just be a rockier ride, and you will seemingly enter a new space where you will be among the stars and seeing planets all around you. Your own home planet will be amongst them before it breaks open like an egg and out crawls a friendly visitor. If you get bit by it, you will spend the rest of the day and night experiencing an array of possible symptoms, including: a voracious appetite, a fear of light, the urge to 'mate' with anyone who smells especially good, heightened senses, the ability to climb on all kinds of surfaces, irritability and crankiness... (( you don't have to experience them all. you can pick and choose which one you like. ))
BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] What's that jingling you hear in the background? Why, it's Santa Clause! Coming here all the way from the North Pole. The park will stop, and all the snowman robots will gather in the square, ushering along as many people as possible. Santa-Bot X-3 will be seated on his chair to welcome all visitors to sit on his metaphorical lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. He will then give them a nicely wrapped present and tell them that it's exactly what they asked for, but they can't open it until they get home. For those who can't wait and choose to open it quickly, they will get some nice treats from Mundus Caelestis. But beware! Those who do take this gift home will experience a weird after-effect as the lovely red and white toy will come to life on its own and hop out of the box that evening to try and violently electrocute the owner. The other one is completely harmless.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can. OVERFLOW IS HERE!!!

[personal profile] helmets 2015-03-23 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure. I was going to continue to explore this carnival, but I have a feeling most of the other attractions will be similar to this.

[ that was a pretty random question. but hey, maybe he's new and he wants to know more about cerealia? she remembered being completely confused and lost when she arrived, so she can't fault him for that. ]

Did you just arrive? I can try to answer any questions you may have. Unfortunately, I'm rather new myself, so my knowledge of this place is limited.
deontology: (XCII.)

[Jae-ha needs to check himself before he wrecks himself.

But he's preaching to the choir here, that's for sure. A santa manages to bounce at them from an odd angle, and Sousei finally half-unsheathes his sword to catch the santa's blade on his own--and then with a flick of his wrist, the santa is sent bouncing past them once more, their momentum doing the rest.

This is such a pointless exercise.]


I'm aware. They have sent assassins after young children before; keep your guard up and protect those who cannot defend themselves.
defeets: (» so many hot guys)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He hums thoughtfully at that. Is he upset?]

.... It depends on whether or not I'm the only one here from my world, I suppose. There are a few important people that I'd hate to see go down with the rest of it, to say the least.

[He'll admit that much.]
flaredo: (They'll be at this for hours)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-03-23 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
When I first showed up here, I had police robots trying to run me through with swords.

[ Yep. ]

[personal profile] millionth 2015-03-23 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I will scan you now.

[hiro looks a little alarmed at baymax's announcement, given how angry she looks, and gives the robot a pat. ]

That's okay. She said she's fine. [hiro does indeed recognize her from sitting next to her on the roller coaster, and he looks kind of sheepish. it's just an all around awkward experience, okay, like how do you even respond to being mutually attacked by robot santas. he flaps a hand somewhat dismissively at the question.] I'm okay. Thanks for the, uh, help up there.
niceguypose: (pure joy)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2015-03-23 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Very well, AndrAIa-san! I will be sure to be very beast-like! [And then he springs over towards Santa-Bot and harasses him.]
psycholawgy: (absolute judgement)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-03-23 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I was until I saw your corndog.

[ But she takes another bite off her cotton candy, letting the sugar melt right away in her mouth before talking again. ] This is actually pretty good, though. I mean, it's just sugar, but still.

[personal profile] stagewright 2015-03-23 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I also come from a family of magicians...but that was the point I knew I wanted to do it for sure!

[ Sometimes Trucy just sort of misses anything not related to her immediate goals or topic of discussion...or she steamrolls over it. See: some of Apollo's sarcasm. This is working on her about as well as that does, although she sometimes notices the sarcasm and snarks back. ]

Maybe! But if it were really like that, your profession would have started because of magic, right?

[ is that even how fate works............ ]
particularity: (m ✣ it's okay if it's only inside a drea)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-03-23 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
I think I am, at least... probably.

[Offended... vaguely... but not enough to get huffy about it because Teruteru would know.]

I'm testing if they're edible, am I? [Ah, guinea pig treatment. Familiar. If they're (for some reason) full of poison, Teruteru, he will come back to haunt you.]

[The sight of this woman is already really out there for him. He approaches her, since she doesn't appear hurt? Maybe she's in shock. Let's take this slowly, one step at a time.]

Uh, dude, reindeer...they don't really talk.

[She's lost it.]
bewrightback: (please explain that one more time or 5)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Well that's fine. [I'm not sure if it would fly on an employment form, though...] It's nice to make your acquaintance, Archer.
enlightning: (I remember)

open!

[personal profile] enlightning 2015-03-23 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Phase II

[The sign said "fun". Very unsurprisingly to Yuan, it wasn't. And this was his opinion before the lights went out.

Maybe you were in the area for that brief terrifying experience. Or maybe you just wandered in to this particular circle of mirrors recently. Either way, it looks a group of the same man in armor and a cape is holding a huge double-ended sword in one hand while having an orb of purple magic ready in the other. Logic should sooner or later dictate there's just one of him. Regardless, he's clearly on edge after what just happened and is ready to strike down those creatures.
]

Show yourselves, cowards!

Phase IV

[Seeing as the entire place looked like that pointless park in Altamira, Yuan hadn't felt much motivation to go on the rides. Somehow he had ended up on this one, however. Maybe it was just so he could complain later in an informed fashion.

The sharp change in its movements quickly catches his attention, so the change in scenery is surprising and impossible to ignore. It certainly appeared like he was in space. And there, in front of his, were his own horribly twisted worlds, a comet fixed directly above them. Then suddenly Derris-Kharlan faded and the two worlds split as though they were finally one again but that was totally moot given the emerging circumstances.
]

DAMMIT!

[The spider is avoided (or maybe it wasn't, hard to tell with him), but as the ride grinds to a halt and the visions fade, others on the ride or nearby might note just how irritated he looks.]

What sort of ridiculous joke was that?!

Phase XI

[Would you like to run into Yuan elsewhere around the amusement park? Or anywhere else he may venture after arriving here? Come at me, bro.]
kicksilver: (009)

[personal profile] kicksilver 2015-03-23 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously reconsidering my hopes and dreams now.

I feel like I've been living a lie my entire life.

[personal profile] millionth 2015-03-23 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[baymax EYES HIM BEADILY from behind hiro, which is to say that after being shooed away from scanning people after a point he's just started automatically scanning them without the announcement. as you do.]

Uhh. You do? 'Cause it seems to me like they make less and less sense the longer we're here.
defeets: (» perhaps it's your scent)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
A magician? [That much manages to get a small smile from him. He's always been rather fond of entertainers.] Then keep your eyes wide open, darling, because you're about to see some magic.

[And with that he's going to wrap her arm around her securely, swinging her around so that she's across his lap and can more toward the outside of the carriage. He's still holding on to the inside with one hand to keep them balanced for one second-

Then he's moving quickly so she doesn't have time to look down and pushing right off the carriage with his right foot, his other arm circling around her to hold her in a princess carry.

Easy as that, they're flying gracefully right over the park.]
andimfine: (✓ 37)

[personal profile] andimfine 2015-03-23 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ And of course Phoenix just allowed her take take some time to explore this hell disguised as a carnival on her own. Apollo is really not surprised. ]

Hold on.. [ Again, he attempts to regain his bearings. This time he inhales and exhales steadily before giving her a nod. ]

I'll go with you.
axilium: (i am a little shit part 2)

[personal profile] axilium 2015-03-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, however will you recover?
bewrightback: (oh boy i done goofed)

[personal profile] bewrightback 2015-03-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
H-hey now, Athena's on my side.[I hope.] She won't arm the Pollys with something so dangerous.

They'll probably just waste all their time on a badge-flashing ceremony anyway...
fortheprincess: (you got me beggin' beggin')

[personal profile] fortheprincess 2015-03-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Only because she's been left in my care.

[ Giving Jae-ha a look because he's actually right, especially in a situation like this. If anything were to happen to her... Like one of these annoying robots attacking her... Would she be able to protect herself? As strong as she's gotten, he still has his doubts. ]

Yeah, think you got the last of them. We should go.
pixelacious: art by <user name="rollingrabbit" site="tumblr.com"> (LAUGH ► you're such a dork.)

[personal profile] pixelacious 2015-03-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Should she feel bad about this...

...

Yeah she doesn't feel any regret at all. Happily watches him harass the robot, to be honest. ]
swordboning: (mfw everything)

[personal profile] swordboning 2015-03-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Since you're a friend of Athena's, let me know if you need anything. But I'm not taking back the occasional idiot comment.

[He can only give so many concessions in pseudo-friendship.]
harepiece: (HA HA oh you......)

[personal profile] harepiece 2015-03-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[LAUGHING and looking vaguely apologetic.]

It was a little too weird in there to want to stay. [PUTTING IT LIGHTLY. But, more importantly:] You came to help, right? Thanks!

[Because even if he didn't need it, he appreciates the effort, okay! It says a lot about a person when they're willing to magically appear on top of a haunted carriage to bust the window down and lend a hand...]
carptricks: (I would clearly feel blessed)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-03-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Preferably not freak out.

[at least not externally. he links his hands casually behind his head once again and lets out a thoughtful hum]

. . . what do you think of all of it so far, anyway?

[it's an innocent question, but he's curious. gauging the opinions of other refugees such as himself might be useful sometime down the line]
rubyinferno: (◎ who lil ole me?)

[She notices the Snowbot first and that immediately draws her over.] Whoa, hey! This thing again... Man, the robots here sure do--

[Oh. It's hugging someone.] Aw, that just means he likes ya! Okay, hold on... I'll get you outta there in no time.

[She wanders around behind it, pulling out a few little tools of her own. Since he has it open already she'll tinker with it, trying to figure out how to turn it off or at least make it let go....

instead she makes it hug him tighter.]
defeets: (» talk piratey to me)

[personal profile] defeets 2015-03-23 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[They're gonna be high as a kite but in a different way, okay. Considerably less illegal substances involved.]

You needn't worry. I'll treat you like a princess, lovely.

[And with that, he pulls on her hand to bring her closer, wrapping that arm around her and pulling her close - maybe just a little indulgently]

Hold on tight to me.
